Renal disfunction: Hematocrit correct answer: -Anemia (lower hematocrit) -The kidneys normally produce the hormone, erythropoietin, which stimulates bone marrow to produce RBCs. When the nephrons fail, the kidneys can't produce erythropoietin. This leads to decreased hematocrit. Renal disfunction: Potassium correct answer: -Hyperkalemia -Nephron damage or failure leads to decreased GFR which leads to the inability to filter out excess K+ Renal disfunction: Calcium correct answer: -Hypocalcemia -Two main things lead to hypocalcemia. First, the phosphate levels bind more calcium (leaving less active calcium in the serum). second, the kidneys normally activate vitamin D. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium across over into the bloodstream in the GI tract. So, less vitamin D= less vitamin D activation, and therefore less GI absorption of calcium renal disfunction: phosphate correct answer: -Hyperphosphatemia -Nephron damage or failure leads to decreased GFR, which leads to the inabillity to filter out excess phosphate renal disfunction: pH correct answer
